Dear Rowbotham, Many thanks for your letter of October 10th, and I am pleased to note that you can pass Arctic oil for running in this country, in spite of the somewhat reduced pressure resulting therefrom, as it undoubtedly caused a remarkable diminution in plug cleaning and upkeep. I think the ignition generally has been improved because the car was never running so well. Yours sincerely, [Illegible Signature] | ||
